Normal behavior?

SteveH Feb 16, 2005 07:43 PM

When I feed my 7 month old unicolor while he is soaking in his water bowl he always grabs the mouse pulls it under water swallows and comes up with only a tail hanging out his mouth. Is the unicolor more of a water snake than the other Drys? Thanks,Steve

not exactly but baby drys are fond of fish and are pretty adept at catching them in shallow water using their body and tail to block the fishlings escape to deeper water. as the snake grows larger and other targets become more interesting to it, this [fishing] habit is largely discontinued. sounds like your uni may have been daydreaming though.......:>]
